We have to upgrade our dilapidated physical infrastructure. No single cause can be identified to explain Nigerian’s poor economic performance over the years than the power situation. It is a national shame that an economy of 180 million generates only 4,000MW, and distributes even less.

You gotta have the same standard of excellence, even though people know that you're coming to the race in a deficit. That's just what life is about.
